[Canadaoer] Summary of results: Estimating time needed to create and maintain OER textbooks

Thanks to Rich Hershman, Shauna Roch, and Justine Munds for sending information on this topic. Summary of Results Fanshawe College: “In the colleges we compensate full-time faculty through a course release and part time faculty through a curriculum development contract to the equivalent of the FT folks. This works out to about 6 hrs a week for a 14-week semester and 12 hrs during the condensed 7-week summer term. We provide all the support, and the faculty member is responsible for the content. We take an agile approach where the faculty is delivering one chapter per week, and we are building in pressbooks right behind them.” https://fanshawec.libguides.com/c.php?g=724582&p=5205170 Clackamas Community College: The college has developed a chart<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1O5pnfB0Y-SVJQnjle-qIvV6D-6cbW6… that summarizes the number of hours per week for different types of OER projects. Hours range from 1-3 hours/week for 1 term to adopt an OER, up to 6-9 hours/week for 3 terms to author a completely new OER.
